This article explores what FSUIPC is, why Python is an ideal partner for it, and how you can get started reading and writing simulator data.

Developed originally by Pete Dowson for Microsoft Flight Simulator, FSUIPC is a modular DLL that acts as a shared memory interface between the flight simulator (now including Prepar3D and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020) and external applications. Rather than sending high-level, parsed events, FSUIPC allows direct reading and writing to specific memory offsets. For example, offset 0x023C holds the magnetic compass heading, while offset 0x057C controls the magneto switch position. This low-level access provides exceptional speed and precision. The "Universal" in its name is apt: it provides a consistent API across multiple simulator versions, insulating the developer from changes in SimConnect or simulator internals. fsuipc python
